| Abstract | ||
| This study investigates the relationship between the measurements obtained from the social networks of ResearchGate and Academia with the scientometric indicators of Scopus and Web of Science databases. The present study is of a fundamental type that has been done in a descriptive manner and with an algorithmic approach. The statistical population of the study includes the most prolific authors in the field of Iranian Business Management who have uploaded their documents in the Scopus database between 2000-2019. 160 of these authors, who had the most documents indexed in Scopus, respectively, have been introduced as a statistical sample of the research. In order to investigate the relationship between the metrics obtained by the authors' activities in the research networks of ResearchGate and Academia with the scientometric indicators of Scopus and Web of Science databases, the statistical tests of correlation with the help of Excel and SPSS has been used. The presence and activity of Business Management writers on the ResearchGate social network is much higher than that of the academia. The relationship between the number of records, citations, H-index and co-authorship in Scopus with the metrics of citation number, citations, index, readers, RJ score and followers in ResearchGate is positive and significant. However, there is no significant relationship between Scopus scientometrics and the criteria of followers, viewers, and co-authors in the academia. | ||
